Change background color now that userChrome.css no longer works

I finally upgraded to TB 115.4.0 from 102 and it is ok. I'd like to set some UI preferences; specifically to email list pane header and three panes (folder, email list, events) lines-per-inch (density). With regards to density I only have three options; small, medium, and large. I'd like something between small and medium. In addition, I'd like to alter the background color of the email list pane header and, perhaps, the email pane and events pane headers.

Since userChrome.css no longer works (I couldn't get it work at all), how do I go about altering this?

Thanks,

UserChrome.css works fine, but the CSS has changed. You need to get CSS for whatever changes you need. Please remember that this feature is not officially supported and subject to change at any time.

I stripped my userChrome.css and put only the above in it. The folder LPI worked but the icons in default density were too large so the less LPI pixels cut off the folder names (like the bottom of the 'g' and 'p', etc). However, I solved that by setting density at "compact" then adjusting the LPI to 26px for both the folder pane and the email-list pane (threads pane?). The "Events" pane adjusted so that was ok.

So this worked. Thanks very much!  :-)
